Zhao Changying's recruitment was also within Gu Xu's expectations.
"The King of Yan values such a great deal, and I can't thank you enough," Gu Xu responded politely, "If there weren't too many things that I couldn't help myself with, I would definitely stay in Jicheng and serve the Great Yan." "It's the work of dogs and horses."
"Why can't you do something that you can't control yourself?" Zhao Changying raised his eyebrows, "Tell me about it and I'll see if I can help you solve it." "
Gu Xu pondered for a few seconds and said, "You may not believe it. Because of the existence of these secrets, Emperor Tianxing will try to kill me at any cost. Put to death.
“To solve this problem, I must travel all over the wilderness in the past year or so to find something that can help me save my life. "
"Haha, isn't it just a little secret? Why can't you believe it?" Zhao Changying smiled heartily, and the laughter lingered in the room. "Now the speed of cultivation in Dahuang is far faster than that of ordinary people. Who among the young geniuses doesn’t have any secrets?
“Especially like you, who has no family background and no resources, but can cultivate to the fourth realm before the age of twenty. Even if you say you are the reincarnation of an immortal, I will believe it too."
Gu Xu lowered his head to drink tea and did not respond immediately.
As the successor of "Emperor Ziwei", although he is not a real reincarnation of a god, he is still close to him.
After a short silence, Zhao Changying let out a long sigh, "I should have known a long time ago that a proud man like you must be arrogant and ambitious. If I want to destroy you You probably won’t be happy to be locked up in this barren and cold northern territory and have to serve Zhao for the rest of your life.
“Actually, the main reason why I invited you here today is for Yan’er. . "
"What's wrong with Zhao Yan?" After hearing this, Gu Xu immediately put down the tea cup and sat up straight.
"You should know that I am going to die," Zhao Changying said slightly He emphasized, "After my death, Yan'er will inherit my position and use her shoulders to carry this country with an unstable foundation and enemies everywhere internally and externally.
"Since childhood, Yan'er has never had a crush on any man except you, let alone let other men hold her arms.
" I have always believed in her way of looking at people, and I also hope that after I die, there will be someone by her side to care about her for me, take care of her, and face the storms of the outside world with her.
"So, Gu Xiaoyou, I very much hope that you can become Yan'er's husband."
"After you get engaged, Dayan will do his best to ensure your safety and be equal to you." With the treatment of the direct descendants of the Zhao family, you will no longer have any worries on the path of cultivation.
"Dayan will not restrict your personal freedom. You can go wherever you want to find your life-saving weapon. As long as you live up to Yan'er.
< p>"What do you think? The conditions I gave Gu Xiaoyou are very generous, right?"When he heard the word "engagement", Gu Xu's heartbeat suddenly slowed down by half a beat.
As soon as they met, they started talking about marriage. Zhao Changying's straightforward style of dealing with people really caught him off guard, but it was in line with the straightforward temperament of northerners.
As for the fact that Zhao Yan had a crush on him, Gu Xu could also faintly notice it.
As the saying goes, there is no pure friendship between men and women.
Especially like the two of them, handsome men and beautiful women, and both are talented monks who are one in a million.
When he was practicing in "Xianyunju", Zhao Yan would often stare at his face in a daze unconsciously; and he would often be fascinated by Zhao Yan's pair of white flowers under her robe. The long legs are dazzling.
In addition, Zhao Yan rescued him from the encirclement of Daqi officials in Jingxing, carefully applied healing medicine to him, found "barrier-breaking pills" for him, and accompanied him across the border. Things like the border between Daqi and going to the uninhabited Beiming at the end of the world may have gone beyond the scope of ordinary friends.
Luxury is a man’s nature. Especially when a beautiful girl treats him well without asking for anything in return, it's impossible for Gu Xu to feel a little uneasy in his heart.
However, Gu Xu also knows that the difference between a good man and a scumbag is not that a good man has no lust at all, but that his sense of responsibility can restrain him.
Because of Shi Xiaohan's existence, and because both of them were carrying too many heavy things, Gu Xu and Zhao Yan tacitly kept their distance from each other and controlled their inner emotions. Didn't pierce the layer of window paper.
But now, when Zhao Changying clearly mentioned this matter, Gu Xu felt a little at a loss.
"Thanks to the great love of King Yan, this junior is very frightened," Gu Xu thought for a long time, nodded slightly and said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is so majestic and beautiful that she is the most beautiful and charming of the country. This junior has long admired her in my heart. But I have already been engaged, and Suffering the full pursuit of the Da Qi court, his fate in the future is unpredictable, and he is unwilling to do so."
"It seems that Yan'er is right," Zhao Changying interrupted him with a smile, "You Even if the engagement is broken off, he still misses his previous fiancée and still wants to return to Luojing City to renew his relationship with her.
"I appreciate your young love and righteousness. people. "
"I once promised that I would never do anything to disappoint her in my lifetime. "Gu Xu lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
As he spoke, his mind flashed to the charming image of Shi Xiaohan waving his little fist and vowing to protect him for the rest of his life.
< p>"You did not let her down. But what if she fails you?" Zhao Changying said as he waved his hand, and the two documents fell from the bookshelf and were spread out in front of Gu Xu.Gu Xu took a closer look. , and discovered that this was a secret report written to King Yan by the spy sent to Luojing City by Dayan.
The contents of the first secret report were about Princess Zhaoning and the divination master Mu Yun.Kai Kai went to Qianhu Shilei's residence in the capital together. After that, Princess Zhaoning accurately grasped his escape route and sent all the officials who were chasing him to Jingxing.
The content of the second secret report is that because Shi Lei made an important contribution in the capture of Gu Xu, an important criminal in the imperial court, someone suggested that he be promoted to the fourth rank of deputy envoy of Jiaodong Province. The memorial has now been sent to the cabinet for review.
After reading, Gu Xu lowered his head, his eyes solemn, and remained silent for a long time.
Of course he can guess Zhao Changying’s purpose in showing him the secret report. Your former father-in-law sold your information to the Qi court for his own career, and it almost cost you your life. Why don’t you break up with him quickly
Gu Xu is really not feeling well emotionally.
After all, he almost died in Jingxing. If Zhao Yan had not rescued him in time, he would have gone to see the Lord of Hell long ago.
But intellectually, he can also understand Shi Lei's approach. He knows that Shi Lei is an official with no ambitions and just wants to keep his job in the officialdom and muddle along.
Shi Lei's choice was more like handing over a certificate of surrender to the Qi court in order to gain the court's trust and prevent himself and his family from being implicated.
"This is just what her father did and has nothing to do with her," Gu Xu thought for a while and said in a calm voice, "Xiaohan didn't do anything to feel sorry for me."
Zhao Changying looked at him like a monster, as if he didn't quite understand his brain circuit.
In the wilderness of feudal society, a clan was often regarded as a unified whole. The individual and the clan both prospered and suffered losses. One person's lack of morality would also become a shame for the whole family.
When children in the family discuss marriage, they value not only their personal abilities, but also the status and virtue of their parents.
Like Gu Xu, dividing a father and daughter into two independent individuals for judgment is completely different from ordinary people.
"Do you think I would allow an outsider who has no connection with our family to master the power of the God of Fire and gain the worship of priests and believers?" Zhao Changying's voice suddenly turned cold, and his face The smile on his face also disappeared.
After Gu Xu takes control of the Vulcan power, he can take back the blood power of the Zhao family members. Perhaps soon, his prestige may exceed that of the monarch of the Yan Kingdom. This is obviously something Zhao Changying does not want to see. Arrival scene.
Gu Xu looked at Zhao Changying's rough and heroic face, sighed softly, and sighed in his heart that he finally saw him.
A dying lion remains a lion.
Although Zhao Changying was seriously injured and died soon, he was still the heroic figure who pretended to be an alcoholic and endured it for many years for revenge.
Seeing that Gu Xu was unmoved in the face of temptation, he showed his fangs without hesitation and chose to deal with him with intimidation.
Even though Gu Xu is extremely talented and has made rapid progress, he still has nothing to do when facing a genuine "True King".Odds.
Gu Xu dislikes this feeling of being controlled by others.
What should we do?
He frowned and began to think about ways to break the situation. ,,
